Wouldn't simple (political) ponerology describe why does this happen to companies? It's the source of "hard times produce strong people, strong people produce good times..." cycle, and the observation that people who want to live easy lives embracing dark triad patterns slowly rise to the top, gaming perf stats, "playing the game", transforming the company/society underneath in the process.
that's cynical. companies aren't monoliths. there are constant struggles over priorities, resources , etc.
It might be somewhat cynical yet it seems to be fitting what is happening right now at Meta and previously happened at Amazon.
